Does Justin Stroud have a good relationship with Mama June's daughters?
Justin Stroud made significant steps in maintaining his relationship with Mama June's daughters.
"I was in a toxic relationship and struggled with drug addiction. Despite becoming clean, I left the relationship. Fast forward six months, almost eight months later, and I was in this new relationship, which was unexpected for them," Shannon told People.
Shannon stated that after spending time with Justin, her daughters had grown to 'love and appreciate him' and that the feeling was mutual. "They all get along now; he's been on a few family adventures with us, and we spend time together as a family."
She continued, "They don't have a problem with him." Initially, they held reservations about him, given their experience with toxic men in their mother's life. During Anna Cardwell's health journey, Lauryn Cardwell also told People that Justin Stroud was the 'biggest rock' of their family.
Justin also helped the family when Anna was in hospice care, offering assistance by providing medicine, running errands, and being there for her and everybody else.
